In the form of the invention shown in Fig. 6 the pivoted arm/1 is replaced by a' stationary arm 4', said arm having one of its ends cut at right angles and its o posite endbeveled, so as to cause the hea 5' to stand at an acute angle to the stationaryv handle 1 employed with this form of the invention.- I preferably provide a second head 5 on the opposite end of the arm 4'. The heads' and 5 are of the same dimensions and the clamping band above -described is employed in thisform of the invention, as\vell as in the form above de scribed. I

Although I have described the Washing element comprising a cloth," it will be clearly understood that any suitable washing means could be employed.

From the above described construction it will be seenv that I have produced a very simple, strong,'and efhcient window washing device, by means of which the outside of windows may be washed while the worker remains on the inside of the building, thus obviating any dangerwhatever of injury or loss of life. l l

Having thus described my inventiomwhat I claim is 1. The combination with a rectangular head, of lan elongated rectangular clamping Aband surrounding the head, said band being U-shaped in cross sectioma U-shaped clampingwstrip secured at its bend to one free edge of one side bar of the hand, a wiping strip U-shaped in cross section a'nd having its free Vedges secured between the free edges 0f said' U- shped clamping strip, an integral flangeformed on the opposite free edge of saidsi'de ba-r and contacting with onel side of the clamping strip and the wiping strip, and a second flange secured to the opposite side portion of said bar, said last mentioned flange contacting with the opposite side of 'said clamping and wiping strips,

2. -The combination with a rectangular head, of an elongated rectangular clamping band surrounding the head, said band being U-shaped in cross section, a Ushaped clamping strip secured along its bend to the free edge of the inner portion of one of the side bars of said band, a wiping strip U-shaped in cross section and having its free ed cured between the free edges of said U- shaped clamping strip, a flange secured. to said inner portion of said side bar and c0ntacting with the innersides of the clamping` RUTH WILLIAMS, F.
